What is recorded here
Magic and life both claim the same stone. The cashel holds its shape in open pasture while a modern house watches from the south, tying ancient and present together. What happened inside remains unknown, but the wall still stands and the land still remembers the shape of what it kept.
In undulating pastureland. Well-preserved subcircular cashel (E-W 41.8m; N-S 37m) defined by a drystone wall best preserved at E. A modern house stands just outside it at S.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
